Celtic decide against offering Bakayoko deal - gossip

Celtic have ruled out signing Tiemoue Bakayoko, 32, after the experienced midfielder completed a training stint with the club during the international break. The decision comes as Rangers, now under a more aggressive short-term strategy, look to challenge Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title this season.

Meanwhile, former Rangers forward Charlie McCann has reflected on his decision to leave the club three years ago, suggesting he may have benefited from staying longer at Ibrox. Elsewhere, Aberdeen’s Chris Cadden has praised the team’s resilience amid early-season struggles, while Hearts defender Stephen Kingsley has spoken about the tactical flexibility required in his role.

Hibernian’s new manager, Marink Reedijk, is being urged to exercise patience as he settles into his position at Easter Road. In broader football governance, SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster has highlighted the Premier League’s delicate position as they prepare to address Manchester City’s rule breaches.
